Patient Resources

Everything practical in one place: what to bring to a first visit, how coverage and referrals are verified, how to request records, and how to prepare for each of the six in-office studies — because preparation genuinely differs by study and getting it wrong wastes the appointment.

Preparing for a Study

Preparation differs by study, and it matters

EMG and nerve conduction: no fasting and no sedation, so eat normally, take your usual medications and drive yourself home. Avoid lotions and oils on the skin. Disclose blood thinners, a bleeding disorder, or an implanted cardiac or neurostimulation device.

EEG and ambulatory EEG: wash your hair beforehand and use no conditioner, oil, gel, spray or dry shampoo. Mention braids, extensions or a hairpiece when booking. Ambulatory EEG needs two visits at the same office, days apart, and you cannot wash your hair in between.

VNG balance testing: a driver is required, not advisory, because parts of the study deliberately provoke vertigo. No eye makeup, remove contact lenses and bring glasses, eat lightly, and follow any medication withholding instruction exactly — it usually begins days beforehand.

Transcranial Doppler: avoid coffee, tea, energy drinks and nicotine for a few hours beforehand, since they alter cerebral blood flow measurably. No radiation, no injection, no recovery period. Evoked potentials: bring the glasses you use for distance, and disclose hearing loss, hearing aids or ear surgery.

Where this sits, and what it draws on

Study-specific preparation sits with each study: EMG and nerve conduction, ambulatory EEG, and VNG balance testing, with the rest on the diagnostic testing hub.

Test preparation follows standards published by the AANEM; condition background is drawn from NINDS and clinical guidance from the American Academy of Neurology.

Clinical Neurology Specialists performs no surgery and operates no imaging suite, infusion suite or interventional pain programme, and provides no paediatric, emergency or inpatient care.

Patient FAQs

Practical questions

Short answers to the things that come up most.

Which office should I use?
Whichever is the shorter drive, since both carry all six in-office studies and hold the same records, so neither refers testing to the other and moving between them restarts nothing. West Flamingo Road generally suits the west and southwest; West Horizon Ridge Parkway suits Green Valley, Anthem and Boulder City.
Do I need a driver for any test?
For VNG balance testing, yes — it is required rather than advisory, because parts of the study deliberately provoke vertigo and some patients feel unsteady for a few hours afterwards. No other in-office study uses sedation, so for the rest you can drive yourself home and resume ordinary activity immediately.
What should I bring to any appointment?
A dated symptom timeline, your complete medication list with doses including anything bought without a prescription, and prior results as full reports rather than summary letters. For a memory or seizure assessment, bring someone who has observed the changes or the event — that account is frequently the most valuable evidence available.
Is information available in Spanish?
Yes. Spanish-language information sits across this site, and the physician referral form is available in English and Spanish. If you would like an interpreter at your appointment, raise it on the booking call rather than on the day so time can be allocated properly.
How do I get a copy of my records?
Submit a written request; the process and what to ask for are set out on the medical records page. Ask for the actual reports and measurements rather than a summary letter, because a letter saying a study was normal cannot be compared against a later one whereas the underlying data can.
When should I go to an emergency department instead?
For anything sudden: sudden facial droop, one-sided weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, sudden vision loss, a headache peaking within seconds, a seizure lasting over five minutes, or a head injury with worsening drowsiness. Call 911 rather than driving yourself. An emergency department is faster than any appointment and needs no referral.

Emergency & crisis resources: Clinical Neurology Specialists is not an emergency service. For stroke symptoms, a seizure lasting more than five minutes or any medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
